jackmadrox Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Most of the episode was blah to me. Maggie getting all emotional over some guy who was killed in his very first episode. The guy means nothing to the audience, I didn't even catch his name. But the end of the episode was good. Curious as to how Rick and Maggie will be leaving the show. Are their characters getting killed off, or is the focus going to be no longer on them, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bad feeling Rick could be one of the Whisperers' first kills when they show up. I hope they don't kill Michonne... I'd like to see her get fueled by revenge for Rick's death & give the Whisperers top spot on her shit list. That katana would be getting a real workout. There seems to be tension between Rick/Michonne & Maggie now due to what she did. Could she end up exiled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody was informed that Gregory had set Maggie up for an assassination, so her decision to execute Gregory was just, and I think everyone at Hilltop probably agrees with that. Now if she begins killing people for questionable reasons, then yeah, I could see her getting exiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantFlamberge Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Executing Gregory was indeed just (& I see it as an act of self-defense, given that Gregory even tried to kill her himself once it was clear his plot failed). I'd say it sent a message loud & clear. I bet Maggie puts Earl on the gallows next for directly carrying out that attack by Glenn's grave. I wouldn't blame her for that. Thinking again, I could see the Whisperers taking out Maggie as well as Rick, given the timing of their appearance. I feel that the Whisperers' coming as 2 big names go is not just coincidence. No way she'd get exiled. Edited October 12, 2018 by gameoverDude189 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmadrox Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Okay so, Jadis is selling people or something? Like, trafficking? It wasn't really clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XjaegerbombX Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 well, Rick and Michonne might have a baby Grimes. As for leaders, Maggie will be gone, Rick will be gone, Daryl isn't much of a leader, so I can see Alexandria being handled by Michonne and Carol. Have you guys een the intro scene they cut out from the introduction? It featured heads on pikes. But AMC ultimately decided that it wasn't worth having just yet cause they want the whisperers to be a "surprise". I'm sooo hyped for episodes 4 and 5!

RadiantFlamberge Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I feel the same about Michonne & Carol being good leaders. Daryl would be best sticking to his current role. We're down to Rick's 2 last episodes. So hard to believe that he's going to be gone soon. Yeah, what is the deal with Anne/Jadis, & WTF are these Helicopter People? There's that bit about A or B, and also her knocking Gabriel out at the Heaps saying he's not a B after he asks who she's talking to. Something's up. I am starting to not trust her again. Crushing walkers with rolling logs in episode 9.2 was pretty cool. What happened to Aaron made me cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willmill97 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Loving Season 9 so far. Just going to go ahead and say that Arat's death scene is one of the best death scenes of the entire show in my opinion. The writing and the way it was directed, just perfect.

Dreakon13 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) I always try and skip the episode previews because I like going in to the next episodes blind, so I usually have my remote-in-hand pointed at the screen ready to turn it off once I see that brief second of the credits at the bottom of the screen. Of course they put in big letters... Spoiler RICK GRIMES FINAL EPISODE ... immediately at the start of the next episode preview, impossible to miss and setting aside any doubt of what may be coming. Next week is going to be a real tear jerker, I bet you. Maybe the first time I actually shed a tear with the show (the Glenn/Abraham/Negan episode came close but that was more awe at the sheer/unexpected brutality of it than anything). Having unfortunately had the vibe of the episode preview ruined in online comments... Spoiler It sounds like they're going the route of "what goes through your mind before you die" which both fascinates me and is ALWAYS a solid gut punch. Moreso than most other death sequences. In this case, it's going to wrap up the most prominent piece of the last 8-9 years of my life... television-wise. ... if I can't shed a tear with all that, I'm made of stone.

RadiantFlamberge Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Looks like Anne may well be reverting to Jadis. Maggie's fate is supposed to be "open-ended". Rick's last scene in this episode... OMG. Just OMG. This one really hit hard. Spoiler While Rick is trying to kite a walker horde, a 2nd one comes from the other side. Rick's horse is scared & bucks him off. He ends up impaled on some rebar, is in pain for awhile, & passes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeancePrime Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I've watched the first two episodes of season 9 and it was absolutely terrible. It's as if the show is being written by a first grader. I'm probably going to stop watching with Rick's departure. The only way I may continue watching after that is if Negan takes over.

XjaegerbombX Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 A big HAA @ all those youtubers who said Rick would be stabbed by Whisperers or Daryl... friggin-A man... He Spoiler FELL OFF A HORSE! This was an obvious call back to Season 1 Episode 1 where the same thing happened but Glenn saved him. QUESTION TO THOSE OF YOU THAT WILL STOP WATCHING AFTER RICK.... Why? I know he's the center of the show... but don't you find it amazing that even the lead of a show is not safe from death? Don't you guys want to see The Whisperers (who dress up like the dead and walk amongst them). Don't know why people wanna stop watching after Rick.

There's Carl - oh wait, never mind. Spoiler Offing Carl was a HUGE mistake, doubly so as Kirkman had even said on multiple occasions before that happened that The Walking Dead was mostly about Carl growing up. The comics will probably off Rick at some point (if they already have, don't let me know, I read by compendium so I haven't read past 144) but when they do, they'll have Carl to fall back on (if they offed Carl, again, don't let me know ;-) I do know that comics Carl survived way pasttelevision Carl as 144 is way past the Negan story and time jump afterwards.

I never found Carl particularly interesting and I feel like a big part of that has to do with the actor not doing too good of a job. I think Negan replacing Rick is a good choice mainly because Jeffrey Dean Morgan has the charisma and acting ability to fill in for Andrew Lincoln.

RadiantFlamberge Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Sure, I will keep watching after Rick is gone. Bring on the Whisperers! Just please do not let him die right where he ended up at the end of 9-4. That would be a waste of Rick's death. Having the Whisperers get him instead would pack more of a punch.

The Whisperer's being responsible for Rick's death would be a great idea & would certainly escalade a war. Unfortunately, Spoiler Alert.... Spoiler The Whisperer's won't be introduced until Episode 06. Eugene & Rosita will hear "WHERE ARE THEY?" amongst a herd of Walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Andrew Lincoln was leaving in season 9, it might have been wise to keep Carl around. They really fucked themselves there. Now the only thing that will make sense is if Negan escapes and takes over. But even then...they've written themselves into a corner. It would have been much more interesting for Rick to die, have Carl have a flashback of him and Rick sitting in Hershel's barn in season 2, "I'm gonna die..There's no way to be ready for it". And then for the remainder of his teenage years, be raised by Negan. That could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantFlamberge Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) I just watched 9-05 "What Comes After" & really liked it. Rick gets off of that rebar using his belt to pull up. This episode did keep the suspense going. After Rick's fate is revealed, something cool happens. Spoiler As a group of new faces are fighting off walkers, someone comes to their rescue with a few gunshots. It's the "Lil' Ass-Kicker" living up to her nickname! Yeah, that's Judith Grimes, who is maybe about 9 years old here. There's been a time jump. Edited November 5, 2018 by gameoverDude189 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 This episode was super satisfying for me. It answered so many questions. Why didn't they do the entire time jump? Oh there's the rest of it, that was a cool way to handle it. Why'd they kill Carl? Oh so Judith can fill that slot, that's actually pretty badass. Why are they killing Rick and what's up with the helicopter? Oh they're branching off to their own spin off of sorts, that definitely has more potential than just killing Rick. I'm super happy with the way this episode went. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree and that's fine, but this is the first time in a long time that I've been excited for the future of TWD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it really was. I wss pleasantly surprised and and satisfied. And we didn't lose Rick, was the best part. I'm excited for the future of this show. New life has been breathed into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantFlamberge Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 On Talking Dead, they mentioned something about feature length films being planned for the franchise- which are supposed to feature Rick, wherever it is he ends up. So even if he's not coming back to the main series, at least his story should be resolved. I feel sorry for Michonne & Daryl, but this is one of the best TWD episodes in awhile. Spoiler Maggie surprised me here. I thought she was going to clonk Negan to death with that crowbar, but sometimes words can be a better weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_Radio Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I didn't even know The Walking Dead was still a thing. Thought it pretty much died out a few years ago. A lot of these hour long dramas start to lose their luster after the first 5 or 6 seasons. I felt the earlier episodes were better, but some fans will probably still say it's still worth watching. Don't really care at this point, I'll just watch the episodes on the internet anyway at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
